Research and Teaching Interests

Current Project

My current book project, America’s Hispanic Empire: Antecedents and Identity Formation in the U.S. Imperial Experience, explores how agents of the American Empire were influenced by their interactions with Spanish colonial administrators in the western portion of the continent of North America, the Caribbean Basin, and the Philippines. The work argues that throughout the long nineteenth century these Americans developed a sense of comradery with their Spanish counterparts, which was based on their perceived racial and imperial similarities. These relationships influenced U.S. empire-building projects, and informed Americans about themselves and their new colonial subjects. External funding for this project has been provided by the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan, the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and the David Bruce Centre for American Studies at Keele University. The work exists at the forefront of an emerging historiography that has only recently begun to perceive similarities between the U.S. and Spanish empires. It also contributes to the larger study of the role of race, gender, and ethnicity in the American experience, and challenges how social memory has often promoted beliefs associated with American exceptionalism.

Research & Teaching Interests

The medieval and early modern Middle East, urban history, gender history, history of material culture, Islamic law and society

---

Current Projects

I am preparing my dissertation for publication as a monograph. My dissertation was a microhistory of a neighborhood in Cairo, al-Darb al-Ahmar, from 1450-1600.

Research on a single neighborhood revealed new insights into women’s roles as property owners, the interactions of Christians and Muslims at the local level, domestic architecture, and the structure of the city in terms of gates, neighborhoods and streets.

I have also begun to research the transition from a Mamluk court system to an Ottoman court system in early modern Egypt. Initially I will be writing a history of the notaries of the court of Ibn Tulun in southern Cairo.

Eventually this project will include histories of other courts including the city of Dumyat on the eastern Mediterranean coast of the Nile delta. This project will investigate the ways in which a local Egyptian legal culture was created from earlier structures and Ottoman legal cultures and mandates.

It will illuminate the court's intermediary position between the interests and demands of the empire and its bureaucrats and the concrete needs of the courts Egyptian patrons.

Current Projects

My new area of research, begun while a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for European Studies, at the University of British Columbia, investigates the development of a German 'colonial gaze' upon Eastern Europe, which began in the 1880s, and radicalized during the First World War. My areas of interest thus include: the social and cultural history of war and occupation, as well as both overseas and 'inner' colonialism.

Canada-U.S. Borderlands, Detroit/Windsor, French North America, Indigenous History, Canadian History

Current Projects

• Wyandot of Anderdon Nation: During the first half of the 19th century, the Huron/Wyandot of the Detroit River region, under treaties with British (1790) and American (1807) authorities, held reserves on both sides of the border. Due to the rapid growth of the settler population around these reserves, and policies of repossession of indigenous lands protected by treaty, these Huron/Wyandot reserves all disappeared from the landscape by the end of the 19th century. Despite efforts by the U.S. government to deport the Huron/Wyandot from Michigan in the 1840s, many succeeded in “going invisible” and remaining near the Detroit River. Today, the descendants of these people on both sides of the border still identify themselves as Huron/Wyandot, and many have banded together to form the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation. For the past eight years or so, I have been working closely with them to research their history.
• Three Hundred Years of Francophone Migrations in North America, 1640-1940: As part of this SSHRC-funded project based at the Université de Saint-Boniface in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I study the migration of French Canadians from the St. Lawrence Valley to the Detroit River region, but also within the Detroit River region. My research covers the period from 1790 to 1850.
• New France Notary Records and Artificial Intelligence: This is a funded project based at the Université du Québec à Rimouski that I recently joined. The researchers and institutions involved in this project aim to make notarial deeds from New France more accessible AND searchable using AI technology from the Transkribus platform. My role in this project is to focus on Detroit notarial deeds from the period 1701-1796, and thus to include documents not only from the era of New France, but also from the British regime in the Detroit River region.
• AMERICA2026: This is a funded project that I also recently joined. It is funded by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France. The project itself is based at the CNRS Washington D.C. office. As part of this project, I am researching the history of French Canadians who joined the American Army during the American Revolution. I am particularly interested in the life of Jean-François Hamtramck, who died in Detroit in the early 19th century. Today, his name lives on in Michigan through the City of Hamtramck.

Research & Teaching Interests

Canadian history, Chinese immigration to Newfoundland, race and sports in Canada, public history, Canadian fisheries

---

Current Projects

I am currently working on projects in two areas: the history of Chinese immigration to Newfoundland in the first half of the 20th century, and sports and race in southern Ontario. In 2010, I became involved with a group working on a public history project on the history of Chinese immigration in Newfoundland in the first half of the 20th century. Chinese Head Tax in the Dominion of Newfoundland. The project included a public monument, and a photographic exhibit. In the years since, I have continued to research the lives and experience of Chinese immigrants and their families in Newfoundland (see details below).

In 2015, I began working on a public history project on the Chatham Coloured All-Stars, a Black men’s baseball team from Chatham Ontario in the 1930s. The website, “Breaking the Colour Barrier: Wilfred ‘Boomer’ Harding and the Chatham Coloured All-Stars” was launched in 2017.  I worked with colleagues at Leddy Library, Heidi Jacobs and Dave Johnston, the Harding family, the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame, and the Chatham-Kent Black Historical Society and Black Mecca Museum. I have since published a scholarly monograph on the history of the All-Stars (see details below), and I continue to research the history of sport in Black communities of southern Ontario.

I am researching a series of conferences on marriage held in the 1940s at the segregated North Carolina College for Negroes, where black community leaders were working with white social scientists to promote a more modern form of marriage, including birth control. I am exploring how they saw this effort as part of a broader civil rights strategy in the context of their struggles for integration in education and employment.

Current Projects

"Artisans of War: Common Soldiers and the Making of Britain’s Atlantic Empire in the Seven Years' War." This study treats soldiers as workers within the war industry and argues that warfare in the 18th century was a major factor in state formation, imperial expansion and the development of capitalism.

The study will address such questions as capital accumulation in the New World, immigration, settlement, working class culture, conflict with Native peoples, the roots of the American Republic, and the construction of ethnic, racial and gendered identities. The book is contracted to University of Pennsylvania Press.

“Memoir of an Invalid,” a study of the experience of James Miller, a Scottish soldier in the British army who fought in the Seven Years’ War and American Revolution, and left a rare diary of his life making war.

Current Projects 

“Women on the War Front: Female Camp Followers and the French Army in North America, 1754-1760.” As implied by the title, this SSHRC-funded project aims to identify the types of activity women engaged at French military camps and to assess their overall experience with the army in light of what civil society offered them at the time. Their study allows exploration of how their actual lived experience often departed from the gender norms of 18th century warfare as articulated in period literature, as well as to explore the scope for heterosocial life (that is, the extent to which women and their men were able to engage in economic, social, sexual, and familial activities) offered by the military. The principal geographical focus of this study will be the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain Valley. My research is supervised by Peter Way and Guillaume Teasdale of the University of Windsor. 

Ongoing secondary projects include Electronic New France (novafrancia.wordpress.com/), an online registry of readily available digital resources for French colonial researchers. I also blog over at Curious New France/Curieuse Nouvelle-France (curieusenouvellefrance.blogspot.com/)
